Pure Socks5|Anonymous Data Collection and Analysis Tool for the Financial Industry

Why does the financial world need to 'stealth' its data?

Friends who do finance understand that to accurately predict market trends, you have to rely on massive data support. But directly using your own IP to capture data from exchanges and financial platforms is like wearing a fluorescent suit and hanging around under the surveillance-The lesser case is to be restricted and blocked, the more serious case is to expose the commercial movementTo. Last year, the crawler team of a securities company was reverse-locked by the target website because they didn't do IP isolation, which led to the competitor intercepting their investment strategy in advance.

The One and Only Socks5 Proxy

Ordinary proxies are like raincoats with holes, and proxy features are easily detected by websites using the HTTP protocol. And Socks5 proxy is equivalent toAll-inclusive wetsuitIt supports TCP/UDP full protocol transmission, which is especially suitable for financial scenarios that require simultaneous processing of quote push and trading orders. Here to say a real thing: many agents on the market will be HTTP agent packaged as Socks5 to sell, to recognize like ipipgo such support for five layers of protocol verification service providers.

Three things to look for in an agent

First LookIP puritySome proxy IPs have long been blacklisted by major platforms. ipipgo's survival detection system automatically sifts out invalid IPs every hour, ensuring that the availability rate is above 98%. The second thing to look atGeographic coverage, for example, to capture futures data from Southeast Asia, local residential IPs are much more reliable than server room IPs. Third.session hold timeIf you are doing quantitative trading, you are afraid of disconnecting in the middle of the day, so it is recommended that you choose a pool of agents that can maintain a session for more than 30 minutes.

Hands on data messing with ipipgo

1. After registering, go to the control panel and select the "Financial Line" package (this line goes to corporate broadband and is not easily recognized)
2. Check Socks5 for "Protocol Type" and select "Target Data Source City" for locale.
3. Copy the authentication information and configure the requests library in Python for example:

proxies = {
    'http': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo:端口',
    'https': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo:端口'
}
response = requests.get('destination URL', proxies=proxies, timeout=10)

Be careful to set the timeout shorter, and cut the IP immediately when you encounter a lag, so don't hang on to a tree.

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Pit 1: IP switching too often by the wind control
Don't be silly to change IP every second, use ipipgo's "intelligent rotation" mode, the system will automatically adjust according to the strength of the target site's anti-climbing. General financial websites are recommended to change every 5 minutes, and then speed up the frequency when encountering an increase in CAPTCHA.

Pit 2: Data delays lead to poor decision-making
Remember to turn on the "low latency mode" in the background of the proxy, this function will prioritize the allocation of nodes that are close to the physical distance. The actual test with Hong Kong nodes to catch the Hong Kong Stock Exchange data, the delay can be controlled within 80ms.

Q: What should I do if the acquisition speed suddenly slows down?
A: First check if it is a local network problem, then use the "IP Health Diagnostic" tool provided by ipipgo to check the response speed of the current IP in one click. If it exceeds 200ms, it is recommended to switch nodes manually.

Q: Will I be blocked if I need to collect 20 websites at the same time?
A: Use ipipgo's "multi-channel isolation" function to assign independent IP pools to each website. In this way, even if a certain website triggers wind control, it will not affect other collection tasks.

Q: How is historical data backtracking handled?
A: It is recommended to buy static long-lasting IPs and bind fixed geographic IPs for continuous collection. ipipgo's financial packages provide 3 days~1 month IP rental service, which is enough to cover most data backtracking needs.

Speaking of choosing the right proxy tool is equivalent to installing a stealth device for data collection. I've used so many service providers, ipipgo in the financial scenario of stability can really play - last week our team used his agent to grab 130,000 pieces of real-time transaction data, the whole did not trigger any verification mechanism. Engage in financial data counterparts can try their home, new users to send 3-day trial of enterprise-level packages, anyway, do not spend money to step on a point is not a loss.
